I very much like DevDocs. But it looks like Python and Go documentation are incomplete. In Dash, the full documentation is available: the library reference of course, but also the language reference and other things. In DevDocs, I only see the library reference. Am I missing something?

For the record, here is DevDocs answer on Twitter:

There were technical reasons in the past [1] but not anymore. Should be able to add those. Feel free to open GitHub issues so I don't forget.

Did you Enable it?

Yes, I enabled Python and Go (and other things I use), but only the standard library is covered. The language reference is not available. According to the README on GitHub, it looks like it's a design choice to focus on APIs...
